Frequently Asked Questions: LinkedIn Premium FAQ: Is It Worth It and What Do You Get?

What is included in LinkedIn Premium Career?

LinkedIn Premium Career (.99/month) includes: 5 InMail credits per month, see who viewed your profile in the last 90 days (vs. 5 days on free), LinkedIn Learning access, AI-assisted resume and profile review, Interview Prep with practice questions, Open Profile status, and salary insights for job postings.

Can I try LinkedIn Premium for free?

Yes. LinkedIn offers a 1-month free trial for new Premium subscribers. After the trial, the subscription auto-renews at the full monthly rate. You can cancel before the trial ends to avoid charges. LinkedIn offers trials regularly – check your notifications for promotional offers.

What is the cheapest way to get LinkedIn Premium?

Pay annually instead of monthly to save about 25-33%. LinkedIn also offers discounts for students via their campus email, and promotional 50% off offers appear periodically. Career tier is the cheapest paid tier at around .99/month when billed annually.

Does LinkedIn Premium increase profile views?

LinkedIn Premium Career includes Open Profile, which means anyone (even non-connections) can send you a free InMail. This can increase profile views from recruiters. However, Premium itself does not algorithmically boost your profile in searches – your profile optimization and keywords do that.

What is the difference between LinkedIn Premium Career and Premium Business?

Career (.99/mo) is for job seekers: InMail credits, job insights, interview prep. Business (.99/mo) adds unlimited profile browsing, company insights, and business growth features for sales and marketing. Sales Navigator (.99/mo) is a separate product with advanced prospecting tools.

Can I see who viewed my profile without Premium?

Free accounts can see the 5 most recent profile viewers from the past 5 days. Premium Career shows all viewers for the past 90 days. This is one of the most-cited reasons users upgrade to Premium.

Is LinkedIn Premium worth it for job seekers?

It depends on how actively you are job searching. If you apply to multiple jobs per week and want insights into who has viewed your profile and how you rank against other applicants, Premium Career can provide ROI. For passive job seekers, the free tier is usually sufficient.
